Fans of the Captain beware. Although this album's title suggests these are original recordings, most of them are from live performances. If you're looking for the brilliant and hilarious original studio versions of songs like "Glad It's All Over," "Smash It Up Part IV," and "Happy Talk," this is not the album to buy. Cleopatra Records ought to be ashamed of itself for such blatant false advertising.

Due to the Captain's disputes with his former record label, there is no other way to get the good Captain's early solo music than to get it on a live recording. This compilation offers many of those early titles, but the recording and music quality is so poor, it does not even sound like the Cap. My advise: wait for a better compilation, there are enough fans of the Captain to get the old stuff away from his old record label.

It's a truly unfortunate state of affairs when this is the best collection of Captain's early work on CD.

Since I'm not too big a fan of the newer stuff, I bought this for the old stuff and was left wanting for it. The sound quality is awful and the songs mostly unrecognizable. At this point I'm about ready to buy a CD-Recorder and a turntable so I can put my old Captain vinyl on CD-R.

Too bad too, as this way, no one really comes out happy...

'He said, 'wot?'
We heard this song in Amsterdam played over a channel selection guide on TV and it literally took me years to track it down. Yes, the rest of the album is bizarre, but this song was in my head for so long. I'm thrilled/relieved/deliriously happy to finally have it on disc to play endlessly. And relive Amsterdam.

Sensible's a wanker, Sensible's a wanker, Na naa na naa, Na naa na naaa ! Buy this album it's worth twice the price.

The music is excellent. Buy this friggin disk! Captain is a truly gifted muscian. He is talented, has a warm heart and is a legitamite source of joy for this world. Bless the Captain. Hopefully we'll see his older material on CD soon too!!! He was pivotal with the great Damned and continues his legacy. Keep up the great work Captain. We love you!!!!!!!

Well, just that . They are Doo Doo heads. They know nothing about great music. Unlike Captain,who is not a Doo Doo head and makes the best music there is . This album is great. Wankers Away ! And What's the gripe about sound quality? Hell,I can hear it!!
